In the original [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy]], KONG Letters are flat gold-lined objects with a letter stamped onto each of them. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]), the KONG Letters are redesigned with a more simplistic appearance, resembling plain red panels with yellow letters.

In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', KONG Letters were renamed '''KONG Panels''',<ref>''Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber'' English instruction booklet. Page 15.</ref> and they retain their role as collectible items. Like in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Game Boy Advance version, the KONG Panels are required collectibles, and they grant an extra life if all four in a level are collected.
